Mutational screening of the CD40 ligand (CD40L) gene in patients with X linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) and determination of carrier status in female relatives

Table 1

 CD40L mutations in 11 Australian patients

Patient no/age at diagnosis CD40L expression (FC) Exon/intron Nucleotide change AA change Effect CD40L database Carrier status
The mutation nomenclature follows the guidelines of den Dunnen and Antonarakis10 and HUGO (www.hgvs.org/mutnomen/). The numbering of nucleotide and amino acid positions refers to the cDNA sequence (GeneBank accession number L07414.1), where the A of the ATG translation initiation start site represents nucleotide +1. The reported age is the age of the patient when flow cytometry and molecular analysis were performed.
*New mutation.
A, aunt; AA, amino acid; FC, flow cytometry; GM, grandmother; M, mother; ND, not done; S, sister.
